Paid Media, weighted by maturity
Search, Meta, display and remarketing — budget shifts across launch, mid-cycle and delivery, each with its own creative library and KPI.
Real Estate Edition
Cheap leads become the most expensive leads.
We build real estate demand engines for developers and brokers across Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait — optimised for site visits and reservations, not form fills.
The Growth Problem
Cheap leads don’t close units. They clog the pipeline.
The sales team is part of the media-buying system — not a department downstream of it.
- 01
Low intent and invalid contact details flood the pipeline.
- 02
Sales chases everything because nothing is prioritised.
- 03
Response time slips past the window where a lead still converts.
- 04
No visibility from campaign to site visit — so nobody knows what worked.
- 05
Marketing optimises cost per lead while inventory sits unsold.
The Buying Journey
A property is not sold on a form. It’s sold across seven steps.
The gap between the lead and the reservation is where budget is lost — and it is almost never a media problem. It’s speed, qualification and follow-up.

Response speed is the single largest controllable variable between a lead and a site visit.
What We Do
The real estate demand engine.
Four pillars — because a launch, a mid-cycle push and a last-units campaign are three different media plans.
Creative by motive
Investors buy yield. Upgraders buy space. First-home buyers buy payment plans. We build angles for each — not one message for all.
Qualification & speed
Forms, questions, WhatsApp flows and routing that separate browsing from buying ability — the first agency to reply wins the site visit.
Revenue tracking
UTM discipline, CRM integration and offline conversion feedback — so the platforms learn from reservations, not form fills.
Heavy awareness
Location proof and payment plan carry the story.
KPI · Cost per qualified leadBalanced
Motive-led angles plus intent capture.
KPI · Cost per site visitHeavy conversion
Interior finish, delivery certainty, urgency.
KPI · Cost per reservationCreative Strategy
One project. Many buyer motives.
Each campaign earns relevance by matching the message to the decision the buyer is actually making.
1
Location & accessibility
The commute, the district, what is nearby.
2
Payment plan & down payment
Often the actual product being sold.
3
Unit type & inventory urgency
What is left, and for how long.
4
Investment case
Rental yield, resale, delivery-date appreciation.
5
Lifestyle & amenities
Who you become by living there.
6
Delivery confidence
Construction progress, developer track record.
Measurement
We optimise for sales progression — not lead volume.
Three grouped blocks, reviewed weekly. The numbers your sales director recognises.
Lead quality
Getting the right hand up.
- Qualified lead rate
- Contact rate
- Speed to first contact
Progression
Turning hands into visits.
- Meeting-booking rate
- Site-visit rate
- Cost per site visit
Revenue
Visits into revenue.
- Cost per reservation
- Reservation → contract rate
- Revenue by project & angle
Cost per lead is a media metric. Cost per site visit is a business metric.
Channel Mix
Where we deploy — and why.
Four channels. Each with one job — and none of them judged on cost per lead alone.
Meta
Demand generationMotive-led creative to upgraders, investors and first-home buyers.
Google Search
Intent captureCompound names, developer brand and “apartments in [area]” searches.
Speed of reply decides who wins the visit — templates, flows and response-time SLAs.
Remarketing
RecoverySite-visit no-shows, high-intent site visitors and unregistered leads.
One channel, one job. Overlap is a sign of undisciplined planning.

Case Studies
Real Estate results, on the record.
Three markets, three very different problems — every number verified in the ad platforms.
Real Estate Uptown October
10,494 leads across three engines.
Pain Point
Low brand awareness, strong market competition and limited historical campaign data. The goal: build trust, generate qualified leads and establish a scalable acquisition engine.
Cresco Method
A full-funnel strategy combining Meta and Google Ads — Meta as the volume engine, Google Search and Display for intent — with continuous testing to lift conversion rates while cutting acquisition cost.
Result
10,494 leads at a $6.03 blended CPL — 30% lower cost per lead, with Google Display cutting CPL by 80%.

5,051 leads in a sub-2M market.
Pain Point
Kuwait’s total addressable market is under two million people, only a fraction of them property-intent — and real-estate advertising isn’t an established category there.
Cresco Method
Tested every channel in the mix rather than assuming where the buyers were, read results on lead quality and cost per lead at once, then concentrated budget on Instagram — which won on both.
Result
5,051 leads at $6 per lead with a 47.84% qualified rate — nearly one in two leads sales-ready.

Demand built from almost zero search.
Pain Point
A coastal destination with almost no search demand behind it. Ras Sedr was still unknown as a search term — exact and phrase match alone could not fill the funnel.
Cresco Method
Opened the top of the funnel with broad match to capture demand that wasn’t being typed yet, built a negative-keyword list from day one, and reviewed search terms continuously so broad stayed cheap.
Result
418 leads at $13 per lead and a 4.6% conversion rate — from a destination nobody was searching for.

FAQ
Real estate marketing, answered.
What developers and brokers ask before they start.
Still have a question?Do you work with developers or brokers?
Both. Developers need demand for a project across launch, mid-cycle and delivery; brokers need a steady flow of qualified buyers across many projects. The media plan, creative and KPIs differ for each.
How do you improve real estate lead quality?
Qualifying questions on budget and payment plan, WhatsApp flows that reply within minutes, and CRM feedback so Meta and Google learn from site visits and reservations instead of form fills.
Which markets do you cover?
Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait — including small markets like Kuwait, where we generated 5,051 leads for Al-Durah Residence with a 47.84% qualified rate.
What does a real estate campaign cost?
Media budgets depend on the project, the market and the stage of the sales cycle. We plan from your target cost per qualified lead and per site visit, and you pay the platforms directly — never through us.
